THE CHINESE GNSS SPECIALIST ARRIVES IN NAMUR!12/10/2017

ComNav Technology Ltd. Shanghai, PR China specialises in designing and producing OEM electronic boards for receiving and processing GNSS signals (GPS, GLONASS, BEIDOU and GALILEO). The company has just opened its European subsidiary COMPASS NAVIGATION EUROPE in Namur with its offices in the University of Namur's Business & Learning Centre.

Joël van Cranenbroeck is responsible for this brand new company which is an international expert in technologies and solutions based on high-precision GNSS.

Based in Shanghai, China's economic heartland, ComNav Technology Ltd. develops and manufactures multi-constellation, multi-frequency GNSS measurement engine boards and receivers for ultimate high-precision positioning applications. It is the very first Chinese company to develop, design and produce combined GNSS boards. With the rapid growth in its business, ComNav Technology is making waves in the global high-precision GNSS industry.

ComNav Technology believes that quality, performance and reliability will make the difference. From the customer's point of view, ComNav Technology always favours quality over just the price. ComNav Technology manufactures each one of its boards/receivers in strict accordance with the ISO standard. There are two test processes to certify the quality of our products. And for the international market, ComNav Technology applies a complete testing cycle after the initial quality control to ensure that our overseas customers benefit from ComNav's excellence.

The company currently employs over 230 people, a figure that is constantly increasing, which is helping it to attract talent from all over the country. As an R&D-driven company, more than half of the employees have extensive experience in high-precision GNSS or engineering. In addition, ComNav Technology invests at least 10% of its annual turnover in R&D, which is relatively higher than in the GNSS industry.

On 10 October 2015, ComNav Technology was successfully listed on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ), as the first domestic company dedicated to developing core technologies and manufacturing GNSS OEM boards (Securities: ComNav ‘Compass Navigation’, Stock code: 833972). This decisive milestone was closely followed by its move to the ComNav GNSS Industrial Park, where it has more space and facilities for continuing to develop and manufacture its large range of GNSS products. There are 4 buildings in total with a surface area of approximately 26,000 m2. ComNav Technology invested nearly 100 million euros (15 million USD) to complete this building. Consequently, the ComNav Technology GNSS Industrial Park will surely be the symbol of ComNav’s production capacity and competitiveness. With a passionate team dedicated to GNSS technology, ComNav Technology is committed to maintaining its leading position as an innovative supplier to delight engineers and users looking for the ultimate high-precision multi-constellation and multi-frequency GNSS receiver technology.
